To all whom z't may conoem: w

Be it known that I, JUnsoN C. LooAN, a citizen of the United States, residi-ng at Meriden, county of New Haven, Statef of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Handles for Cooking Utensils, of which the following is a speclfication.

This invention h'as for its object to provlde a heat insulating handle adapted for use on cooking utensils generally and especially adapted for use on aluminum utensils, which shall be strong and durable, will not burn at the point of connection to the utensil, and shall be r'elatively inexpensive to produce, and cool and pleasant to handle when in use.

With these and other objects in view I have devised the novel handle fo'r cooking utensils of which the following description in connection with the accompanying drawin is a specification, reference characters bemg used to indicate the several parts.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of alcooking utensil with my novel handle apphcd thereto;

Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, on an enlarged scale, of the handle, and showmg the mode of attachment to the handle socket on the utensil, and

Fi 3 is a perspective view of the socket bushmg detached.

10 denotes a cooking utensil which 1s provided with a handle socket 11 having a bushin 12 cast therein.' The bushing is preferab y, although not necessarily, made of bronze, is internallythreaded and is proJ vided with outwardly 'turned spurs which are cast into the socket and lock the bushing against turning. The socket is provided at its outer end, andcontinuous with the bore of the bushing, with an enlarged air space 13, the outer end of which is counter-sunk, as at 14. 15 denotes the hand piece which is made of Wood or any suitable heat resisting material, is usually covered with heat resisting paint, and is provided wlth a longitudinal air space 17 through which the handle bolt 16 asses. This longitudinal air space in the andle is made appreciably larger than the handle bolt leaving ample space for cooling purposes surrounding the handle bolt. The inner end of the handle bolt is threaded, as at 18 to engage the bush-' ing and the outer end thereof is provided with a ring or head 19. Between the head and the outer e'nd of the handle I place a cup shaped collar 20.through which the handle bolt passes and the flange of which engages the outer end of the handle externally. Between the inner end of the hand piece and the handle socket I place a ring shaped metallic insulator 21 which is concavoconvex in cross section. The outer end of,

'gagement of the neck with the wall of air space 13 retains the insulator 'in a central position and that collar 20 retains the handle bolt central in air space 17.

In assembling, the parts are placed in the position shown and the threaded'inner end of the handle bolt is turned into engageinent with threaded bushing 12, thus clamping the parts securely together and preventing any dis lacement.

aving'thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A handle of the character described comprising a socket having a bushing cast therein and an air space, a hand piece having a longitudinal air space continuous with the air space in the socket, a ring shaped metallic insulator between the hand piece and the socket, and a handle bolt passing through said air spaces and having threaded engagement with the bushing.

2. A handle of the vCharacter described comprising a socket having an air space, an insulating hand piece having a longitudinal air space continuous with the air space in the socket, a concavo-convex ring shaped in- Isulator between the hand piece and the socket,` a handle bolt passing through both air spaces and having threaded engagement with the socket, and a cup shaped collar engaging the outer end of the hand piece and which is engaged by the head of the bolt to .Sneiflon of Letter! Patent- Patentcd Sept. 23, 1,919. t

Within the air space in the socket and a handle bolt passing through both air spaces.

and engagin the bushin 4. A han e of the c aracter described comprising a socket having an air space, the end of the socket being counter-sunk, a hand piece having a longitudinal air space continuous with the air space in the socket, a concavo-convex ring shaped insulator between the inner end of' the hand piece and theI outer knife edge of the socket and provided with a neck passing into the air space in the socket, andl a handle 'bolt passing Licps through both air spaces and having threaded engageinent With the socket.

5. A handle of the character described comprisping a socket having an air space, the end of the socket being counter-sunk, an insulating hand piece-having a shoulder at its inner end and a longitudinal air space continuous with the air space'in the socket, a concavo-convex ring shaped insulator engaging the shoulder on the hand piece and the outer knife edge of the socket and having a neck passing into the air space in the socket, and a handle bolt passing through both air spaces and having threaded engagement with the socket.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.v
